The Crystal of the seven goals in height versus the ‘U’ and their last two goals in the Monumental: the numbers that force the creams not to fail to define the Apertura

The table is clear: the two best teams are in the fight for the Apertura. That is, whoever celebrates at the end of the day will be a fair champion. , although it suffered from irregularity in the last four dates: it won the same times as it lost, including the hard fall against a direct rival such as the ‘U’. He could have sentenced earlier, but he missed a great opportunity.

The Monumental is clearly their fortress: there have been seven wins in a row. And they played the Copa Libertadores in between. Not even fatigue could stop his overwhelming pace.

Once the scenario is described, it is necessary to know how the champion is defined. The League 1 organization decided that first place would be decided by five items in order of importance. 1) score, 2) goal difference, 3) goals for, 4) fair play, and 5) draw. For now they are equal in the first section, so the goal difference will prevail. In case of a tie at point two, the goals scored will be decisive. And so on.

In that sense, Cristal has the upper hand. Because? Because of how she has done against the Rimenses playing on a visit and at height. To continue; the details.

Cristal, a top team

Crystal vs. United Merchants (3 pm, / L1 Max)

Sporting Cristal is the favorite. In a decisive instance, offensive performance will be key, and that is where the Rimense have proven to be the best: they have scored 43 goals in 16 games (2.6 goals per game), there is not a single date where they scored and they have recovered to one hundred percent. cent to the tournament’s top scorer, Martín Cauteruccio (16 celebrations).

On a visit, the panorama is similar for the celestials: they won five times, tied once and lost twice. At the front will be Comerciantes Unidos, a team that won three times in Cutervo, tied the same amount and lost only once. They scored little (11 goals) and received a lot (8) to play at home.

Cristal needs, first, to win. Then, continue with the scoring path that he has shown throughout the Apertura. And, finally, adjust the defensive pieces well so as not to suffer. A goal from him would force the ‘U’ to win by a difference of four goals, and so on.

University obligations

vs. Chankas (3 pm / L1 Max)

The Monumental is its unbreakable fortress. And to illustrate: they won all seven times they played at home and only conceded one goal. The problem that seems to have been resolved in the last two games is the low scoring ability of the ‘U’: in their first five games they only scored seven times, but in the last two (6-0 against Comerciantes Unidos and 4-1 against Cristal ) were revealed with ten celebrations.

And there will be the key: Which University team will we see against a Chankas team that, playing in cities that are not high, received ten goals in four games? From the outset, coach Fabián Bustos would show his ambition by putting Flores and Calcaterra in the driving seat accompanying Ureña, and leaving Rivera and Valera up front. Andy Polo and Portocarrero will be on the sides. Behind the usual ones: Britos in the goal; Corzo, Riveros and Di Benedetto in the rear. A very offensive team.

The ‘U’ is forced to repeat what they did in their last two matches for the local tournament at the Monumental. It is not only about winning, but about scoring a goal to secure the Apertura in the year of its centenary in which they seek to close it with another national title.
